It’s possible that the 125 GeV Higgs boson discovered by the ATLAS and CMS Experiments is only one of several neutrally-charged Higgs bosons predicted by theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.

Several genes of the pro-inflammatory complement system, including CR1, Cr1L, Clu and C3 have been linked to AD. However, there remains a yawning gap in our understanding of how proteins derived from these genes impact risk of AD.

Amyloid fibrils are highly ordered protein aggregates associated with many neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Flavanoids, which are polyphenols such as curcumin present in the human diet, have been shown to inhibit fibril formation in tau protein which is abundant in neurons.
